The London Quarterly Review for January has the conclusion of the delightful paper on tho "Life and Writings of Johnson," tho first part of which appeared in the preceding number. There is no epoch so rich in intorest to the lover of literary biography as that of Johnson, of Goldsmith, of Foote, of Fielding, and of Richardson; and the London Quarterly (which, after all, we think we like best of the four great reviows,) has always something to tell usof that period, and of those men. The present article is one of tho most attractive of its kind; and as the never-wearisome story of Johnson's strug gles and triumphs is told again, you regard him with tenderness, if not affection. ' Tho reviewer opens with some reflections on tho fortunes of authorship, which we cannot refrain from copying. They are as true as they are sad : "Mr. Thackeray has remarked that the ad vantages of the literary calling are not sufficiently remembered by those who complain of its hardships. The physioian must have house and furniture, carriage and men-servants, be fore patients will contido in him, for nobody is willing to trust in his skill till be puis on an appearance which indicates that he is trusted by others. The barrister must bo at tho cost of chambers and clork, and the expense of going the circuit. The artist musthave his studio and a constant supply of canvas and paint. The author, on tho oilier hand, requires scarce anv capital with which to exercise his craft. In large towns puhlio libraries supply him with books, and a few sheets of paper, a pen and a utiiu 11JK are an wmcu are required to write them. Ho can live in a cheap lodging, and needs nono of tho costly appendages of tho doctor, lawyer and painter. Such is Mr. Thackeray's summary of the case, and it is plain enough that every calling hag its drawbacks and compensations ; but, when all has been said, iv win nun remain a irutii mat cue worst profession in tho world, for those who rely upon it exclusively, is that of an author With tho execu tion of a very few popular writers and editors of journals, noporsons expend so largo an amountof talent anu ton tor so small a return as the better class of literary men. Gifted persons, whose pons are hardly ever out of their hands, can with difficulty earn three or four hundred a year. Great ns is the demand for books in the aggregate, the books of an individual have not often a sufficient sale to furnish much Drofit. If he chances to make a lucky hit, he can rarely repeat it. These who make their way in the ordinary professions, have a steady call for their services; the gains ot the author, which are dependent upon a taste as variable as the weather, are always precarious. Though the publio did not require incessant varietv and were wining 10 go on listening to the voice of tne cnarmer, 110 can seldom continue to charm as wisely as at first. Goldsmith urged the in troduction of new members into the I.iterarv Club because the original associate 'had travel led over each other's minds. This is as true of books as of conversation. Few tram are pos- BCHsuu 01 an inexiiausuuie stocK ot ideas, and while in the ordinary callings increased expe rience gives increased skill, the author often finds in the very prime of his life that his occupation is gone, and that Utile besides 'mouth- honor is lell him. lint the chief evil, perhaps, of his employment, when his bread depends upon it, is in ine nniure 01 tne cxerlion it Imposes. The craft of an artist is in a largo de grce mechanical, and to paint is usually as much a pleasure as a labor. The duties of a physician soon become a routine in which the intellect is rarely put to a strain. The barrister has his materials found to his hands, has the comparatively easy task of addressing the understanding instead of captivating the taste, and has the immense advantage of speaking to an audience far from fastidious and which is compelled to listen to him. 4 Literary produc tions, wnon tney have any particular excel lence, generally flow with much less facility. Rapidly as Johnson seemed to write, he yet tes tifies that composition 13 usually an effort of slow diligence, to which tho author is dragged by noccssity, and from which the attention is every moment starting to pleasanter pursuits. No occupation is so tiring, nono requires such concentration of the powers and such a freedom from everything which candistract the thoughts ; none, thoreforo, is so harrassing under the least derangement of health or circumstances. 'A man,' says Johnson, 'doubtful of his dinner or trembling at a creditor s not much disposed to aosiractcu meuitation or remote inquiries:' nor can any pursuit be so trying when poverty com puis iuo ton 10 oe unremitting; when Day after day the labor must 1 done, And sure as cornea the postman and the sun The indefatigable ink must run.'

From Perley, the Washington letter writter of tfie Boston Journal we learn thai Dr. Bailey, of the National Era is going to Europe for tho benefit of his health, and will proably be the guest of Mr. Cobden while in England; that Lord Napier has advertised his horses for salo, being says the gossips, uncomfortable in Wash ington; says Mr. Key was killed; that tht friends of the murdorod man will try to prove that his relation with Mrs. Sickles wasplatonic; that the friends of the homioido protest against the efforts of some newspapers to canonize him; and that a certain foolish preacher, Mr. Haley, has made himself very obnoxious by reporting what ho says and what Mr. Sickles says when the "revere nd gent" goes to see him in prison. The 'Teople'i JV," a paper printed iu Oregon, comes to us. In tho number for January 18, we find the following weather item: "The weather is warm; lurks are singing, wo men are visiting, loafers sunning themselves on the cornors, grass is growing: we can hardly help believing that it is spring, Instead of the middle of January. The thermometer during the past week has ranged from 85 to 04 degrees." Ma ANn Wolf Killed. Wolves are still fierce and ravenous in some of the wilds of Michigan. It is stated that recently in Sail nac county, a wolf sprung upon a man who was chopping near his own dwelling, soiling his victim by the throat. His wife ran to his rescue, and killed the wolf with an axe, but the man toon bled to death. - " 1 STATE ITEMS. Great Shot. The Couneaut Reporter tells a story of a man who killed twenty erow$ at a single shot, the other day. A large cloud of crows had passed over his house one evening and settled down in some neighboring woods. As soon as it was dark, he followed with a common fowling piece, and when sufficiently near, blazed away at a cluster of crows in the top of a tall tree. The next morning eighteen dead and two disabled crows wore found on the ground making a total de struction of twenty crow at a tingle ihot I Death of an Insane Woman. An insane woman, Mrs. Kinney, of Kins man, jumped through the window of her room in tho County Infirmary, carrying sash and glass with her, breaking her leg and ankle, and so badly tearing the flesh that mortification set in and sho died. Trumbull Chronicle. The Difference. . The Columbus correspondent of the Warren Chronicle says of the Investigating committee: The committee seem to have had two classes to deal with, one they seem to extenuate before exposure, and pity afterwards, mush as some mothers in giving a disagreeable medicine to a child, they first give a lump of sugar to prepare his mouth, and give him another, after be has swallowed the pill, to take the "taste out of his mouth." Tho others are chased and choaked until they open their mouths, and the bitter doso crammed down their throats, then soundly spanked for getting sick, they are suffered to run again.

From what we can learn, the coming wheat crop of our county will be good. Some, on low grounds has been lrozcn and scalded out, Din in general the prospect is excellent. Fruit also promises to be good. Uuerntey limei. The New Wheat Crop. We have lately made inquiry of many of our friends in the country, concerning the coming wheat crop, and with but few exceptions, they agree in saying Unit within the last lew days the prospect has materially improved, owing doubtless to the gentle rains and pleasant weather that we have thus far had in the month of March. The winter was not as favorablo for tho protection of the tender plant as it usually is, yet it is to be hoped that the mild and grow ing weather which we aro now enjoying will make up for the lack of a steady laying snow during tho winter, and amply reward our farm er friends with an excellent crop of wheat. Nr. Charles ueemeiin. Tho editor of the Summit Beacon, speaking of the Treasury Fraud Report, in a recent letter from Columbus, says: Mr. Reemlin is admirably fitted for such an investigation. He has cultivated upieion a a cardinal political virtue. "Always suspect everybody," is his maxim. Though the result is ft mental deformity in his own character a be lief on the whole, that Charles Reemlin is an honest man, and that thore is no other, tempered perhaps, with occasional doubts, even on that first point still it renders bun keen scented and sharp as a terrier in such a pursuit as tlint in which the commission was engaged. Air. Reemlin co-operates to a moderato extent with the Republican party, but never did profess to be a Republican. On tho contrary he has al ways disclaimed membership in that parly. Fatal Accident. The Herald says that a man named Arnold, residing near aslnngton, ! ayette county, was killed on Saturday, by being thrown from a buggy. He was a man of intemperate habits. An Ohio Artist. We find the following paragraph in a letter to the Boston Transcript, on "Art Matters at Washington:" Miss C. L. Ransom, of Sandusky, Ohio, who has been sojourning here for a few weeks, is at work upon a portrait of Air. Uiddings, which bids fair to be a strong and characteristic likeness and an admirable work of art. Miss Ran som's portraits are remarkable for a degree of strength and vigor not often seen in the productions of female artists. She is a young lady of great cultivation, and is devoted to her pro fession, which she pursues with a degree of in telligence and enthusiasm that must one day give her an enviable position in the domain of art. The author of the letter is a Boston gen tleman of fine artistic taste, to which he does credit by his praise of Miss Ransom. We speak from acquaintance with the lady's works. She is not only successful with portraits, but her landscape, paintings evince great genius and power of expression. Passing her early years in Ashtabula county, near the shores of old Erie, she studied in the well known school of Thomas Hicks, at New York, and since her return from that city, has resided for the most part at Sandusky, where sho has spent her time in painting portraits, and sketching the glari- ous lake scenery. - Ohio is becoming famous for her artists, and we aro glad to see this tribute from Boston "cul-tiero" to Western genius. Italian Revolutionists in Paris. The Taris correspondent of tne Philadelphia North American days : : ' 1 . Vast numbers of Italian refugees are passing through Paris, from Loudon and elsewhere, on their road to Genoa, whore, it is said, thoy will be formed into "several regiments" for tho cam paign which bardinia still appears to have in prospect for tho coming spring. A large bodv of these exiles , bearing a prodigious tri-color bo- quci ot the Sardinian colors, paraded one day last week at the Palais Royal, to request an interview, and present their offering to tho Princess Clotilde and her husband, Tho Prince was absent, but, on being applied to. consented (doubtless with the assent of a higher authority,) to receive a deputation on Sunday lust. Accordingly, on that day Sterbeni. once a mem ber of the Provisional Roman government.

It is certainly a strange sight to witness, to seo the "dearly beloved cousin" of Louis Napoleon welcoming witli kind and encouraging words the leaders of the revolutionary party of iiaiy. Diranger still lo think that these men are welcomed and encouraged here, in its capital, by the very government which sent an armv to Rome to put them down, and keeps it there to provent tneir returnl Such policy can scarcely be called consistent; but the semi-official organs tow assert openly, and with impunity, that the present Italian policy of France has been, in part, at least, adopted, in order to protect the Emperor, and consolidate the Napoleon dynasty. The "personal" motive, in short, for the course recently adopted toward Austria is no longer professed to be made a Bocret of. : To disarm the heads of the Italian carbonari, and preserve the life of Louis Napoleon, is openly avowed to be one; at ' least, of the motives for throwing r.urope into convulsions The Washington Union begins an artiole on the "Expired Congress," in tho following composite mannor: "The outrage upon the constitution which the expired Congress has inflicted in refusing to pro vide for ono arm of the federal sorvice the coincidence of this first sot of revolution with the three-score-and-tenth anniversary of the estab lishment of the government the signal manner in which the same Providence, whose sustaining hand has from the first been so manifest in the history of our country, has marked this event by the sudden demise of tho two chief officers of tho department suffering the revolutionary blow from Congress; these notablo circumstances and coincidcnceshave made a deep Impression upon the mind of the Christian people of our country." It is hard to tell which is greatest, the editor's anger, piety or grief. Answering Letter. Mr. Jonos had been kept awako nil night by an aching molar, it was one of those esses which would yield to ordinary remedies. Ho choked himself, and skinned all the inside of his mouth with liberal applications of kreosoto, oil of cloves, and other fiery remedies, but all in vain. He rose in the morning, his heart bounding with vulorous determination. Ho would seek a dentist, and bid him do his worst. As ho thrust his feet into his boots, his tooth began to get better, and when he reached the dentists house, it was quite well, so liko a sensible man, he retraced bis steps, pronounc ing tho proverb which says "delays are danger ous, an unmitigated humbug. However the tooth began to acho again and to ache horribly. It came on spasmodicnly, by jumps, each jump worse than tho preceding. Jones thought his head would jump off, and he rather liked the idea of getting rid of the torment in that way. At all events it was a clear case that the tooth must come out so bo sought the dentist again, and this time he was not to bo fooled by the temporary cessation of pain. He rang tho boll, and was shown into the "slaughter house." The surroundings were sufficiently appalling to frighten both Jones and the tooth-uche to death. But his mind was mado up, and he placed himself in the "easy" chair. In about fivo seconds, during which every bone in his body was dislocated, or broken, or both, the tooth was out, and the trouble all over. There aro many persons in tho world who think tooth-drawing an agreeable amusement, in comparison with letter-writing. The idea of deliberately sitting down to write a letter is to them intolerable. They are so indolent about other matters, nud are sometimes able to get up an amazing quantity of steam, when it is not at all needed. They have no difficulty in express ing their ideas in conversation, nud there can be no complaints urged against their caligraphy. It is very hard for them to give any reason for their hatred of letter-writing except the female reason "because;" but we all know individuals who are tho victims of this unconquerable aversion.a great oeai 01 tne repugnance would un doubtedly wear off, if the sufferer would take regular doses of the remedy. And the only reliable remedy is a practice of the abhorred duty. In this aire of the world, and in this day of cheap postage, it is absolutely necessary that everybody should write like Charles Lamb or Horace Walpole. We incline to the opinion that the clner oeauty in letter-writing is to approxi mate as closely as possible to oral communica tions. A man of tolerable- education, who writen just as he talks, writes agrcebly, and is always understood. The receipt of an epistle, concocted after the model furnished by the "Lompleto Letter-writer," is a nuisance It re- minus us 01 wnai we suppose must be tho emotions of an old toper, who loves whisky for its own sake, when lie is ottered a "hxed-up drink The particular class of letters, most objectionable on account of their unnatural character is that comprised under tho head of "lovo let ters. Asa general rule, lovers talk a great deal or nonsense, when they have an opportunity ior interlocution out the nonsense is highly intensified when committed to paper. A stright- torward, manly love latter would be a greater curiosity. But it is in reference to the duty of replying to letters mat we wished principally to speak; and 1110 story ot Air. Jones was introduced as an illustration ot the condition of the letter hater who has received an epistle which requires an answer. He will postpone the irksome task as long as possible, and nourishes a vagtio hope that tho necessity for a response will pass away somehow. He endures a pain akin to the arrow 1 ing of oil angry tooth, while the letter remains unanswered; and if he at last plucks up enough enorgy and courage to discharge the duty, ho is amazed to fiud how little the operation hurt him. After all, it is the horrible furniture in the dentist's office, that makes tooth drawinc so dreadful. The huge chair, with a place to fit tlie occiput; the capacious spittoon on high leg?, and the little table, glittering with the sugees- live arrayof cold-blooded, pearl-handled instru ments. 11 tne operator would only come in just when the pain begins, and pluck out tho tooth, it would not be so terrible a tiling to en- dure. And so with answering a letter. If a man could tear off the blank leaf and scrawl a few words in reply on tho instant, tho receipt of the mission would not bo thought so great a calamity. A prompt answer to a correspondent is just as much a duty as a reply to a spoken question. It is nnt polite to keep a friend in suspense, and cause him to growl at the irregularity of the mails. To leave a letter unanswered, is to treat tho writer with great contempt, and everybody feels obliged to oiler some excuse, oven for a lit-tlo delay in replying. The eagerness with whioh everybody opens his letters is proof enough that they are generally acceptable, and a little observation on the part of our readers will satisfy them that there is no minor duty so habitually disregarded or procrastinated as that of reply ing promptly to written communications. Baltimore American. A rumor in London, on the evening of the 22d ultimo, reported the death of the Duke of Buckingham, or, as he is called by the London prints, "Richard Plantaganet Temple Nugent Brydges Chandos Granville, second Duke of Buckingham." He was tho owner once of the celebrated estate of Stowff, which a few years since was brought to the hammer by his prodigalities. Since the loss of his fort uno, the Duke oocupicd his time in illustrating the history of the hrst thirty years 01 tne present century by the publication of family papers. His "Me moirs of the Court and Cabinets of George III," consisting in the main of letters written by the two brothers, Lord urenvillo and sir. T. Gren ville, to their elder brother, the Marquis of Buckingham, contain the observations qf ono of the most BagaciouB politicians or the day upon the political events which attended the struggle with Napoleon, and within the last few days tho series was continued 111 "Memoirs of tho Court of George IV," the last publication of the author. The mother of this peer was the sole rep- . . e t r. t. . r reseniauvu 01 mary, yucen 1'ownger or f ranco, sister of Henry VIII, whose issue under certain contingencies were named in that Monarch's will as successors to the erown of England. A Goon Idea. The English druggists are about adopting a hexangular bottle, with dnnn flutings, to put poisons in which are Sold by retail. This Is to poevent persons making mis takes ty getting tiom or the wrong bottle. As an additional security, the neck of the bottle is so contracted that but a drop at a time can be poured out. The very deliberate and cautious action thus produced Will, it is bclioved, deter any one from taking overdoses of medioino; while it is difficult to imagino a case in which a person could pour out and take tho whole contents of one of those bottles in mistake for something else. ' Easily Satisfied. The Milwaukee Sentinel says of the reading of Saxe s poem on "Lov," in that city: "It would not be saying too much to assert that the reading last night gave better satisfaction than anything yet offered in the course." It is impossible to tell what else has been "offered in the course," of Milwaukee lectures, but we venture the remark that it must have been dreadful trash, if Mr. Saxo's dull rhymes gave 'better satisfaction." Indication and Treatment. A. M. Feullit was traveling in a steamboat at a time when an explosion took place. M. F. was transfixed by an iron spit seven feet long. The spit went in at tho abdomen and passed out at the back, so that there were three feet of the spit in front and three feet of the spit behind. M. F. was conveyed to the nearest hotel. His position demanded all the resources of art. A surgeon was accordingly sent for, who on arriving felt the patient's pulso, and asked him where he was suffering. "In the abdomen," replied the wounded man. "Indeed I How did it happen to you?" The patient thereupon detailed the sad incident of his being transfixed. The surgeon shook his head, and resumed: "Are they subject to this accident, sir, in your funiily?" "No, re- ' plied the patient, "not-that I know. My father and mother are very old, and have never been spitted. So with regard to my brothers and sisters, and my uncles and aunts." "Vory well, sir. I required that information in order to give a correct prognosis, i ou experience, I suppose, considerable difficulty in lying on your back?" . -lea, air; 11 is inucea impossible.' "it, is not any easier for you to lio on your stomach?" "I experience precisely tho same difficulty." "It must, thoreforo, bo much easier for you to lie on your sido?" "That's the only position I can lie in." "That will suflice, sir. It only remains to determine upon the treatment. Here the indications aro very precise, cither wo can leave the spit, but then you will most likely dio of inflammation; or we can extract it, but then it is not probablo that you will survive tho operation. Science, sir, has its limits; your fato is in your own bands; you must decide for either one treat ment or the other." Washington's Birthday In Paris. On Tuesday evening tho residout American i. citizens of Paris celebrated with great telat the ono hundred and twenty-sixth anniversary of the birth ot Washington. The fete came off, as on former occasions, iu the noble saloon of the Hotel de Louvre, and was shared in by a large number of American residents, as well as a host of foreigners and officials of all countries. A ball at tho Tuilerics, on the same evening, interfered, perhaps, with the presence of the immediate attendance upon the court, whom etiquette or even fatigue prevented in some degree from being at both entertainments. But there was a largo muster from the various foreign legations, to which invitations had been issued with a liberal hand. The noble ball room, richly decorated with portraits and busts of Washington, Lafayette, the Emperor and Empress of the French, and numerous French andAmerican- standards, looked imposingly beautiful, when filled with the throng of elegantly dressed ladies, interspersed with glittering uniforms and foreign decorations. Correspondence A'orth American. Literary Gossip. The Boston correspondent : ' of the New Y'ork Timet says: "Tho great event of this week has been the birthday of James Russel Lowell. A number of his friends gave him a dinner on that occasion at the Parker House, which came off on last Wednesdny withecaf. Agassiz sat at the head of the table, and Longfellow at the foot. Lowell himself sat ou the ichthyological Professor's ' right hand, and Emerson occupied the seat on ' the left. Au rette, the guests were Stillman, the author and artist; Doctor Holmes; Underwood, the author of "Bulls and Bears," now publishing in the Atlantic Monthly, Mr. Edmund Quin-cey, Professor Felton, Mr. Dwight of the Journal 0 Music, with others equally agreeable or dis- ( tinguished. Emerson read a strangely beautiful poem, suggested by the event celebrated. Dr. Holmes read another, and Mr. Lowell replied to these compliments in verse. Several charm-. ing birthday gifts were presented to the poet Professor by his friends, among others a picture by Stillman. Interesting Relics It is known to a por- ... tion of the public that Rev. Theodore Parker is the possessor of two pieces of firearms which were used on the battle field of Lexington, and which descended to their present owner from-his grandfather, Capt. John Parker, commander of the robels at that place. The history of these pieces, in briof, is as follows: . The smaller of the two, which it a mere fowl- ' ing picoe, was used by Rev. Mr. Parker's ancei- ' tor at the battle of Lexington. With it he . brought down a British soldier of the 3d Regiment; whose gun he secured, and, which gun a ponderous "King's arm" of eloven and a half " pounds weight, is now hung up in peaceful-companionship with the fowling piece which, in-in the hands of Capt. Parker, dispatched the "red coal." This "King's arm" was the first weapon taken from the British in the war. We are gratified to learn that Mr. Parker has ' indicated his intention to bequeath these valua- , ble relics of the Revolution to the Commonwealth, and they will be transferred to the State upon the decease of the donor. Since Mr. Parker's recent departure for the West Indies, he has-written back to a friend in Boston to have these guns removed from his residence to the State House, to be kept there during his absence, as a ' measure of security against fire. The request ' has been complied with, and the guns may be seen in the office of the Secretary of State. Boston Journal. . ; Uomba. The name Bomba is often misinterpreted as " having some allusion to bombardments. It is ' not so. In Italy, when you tell a man a thing , which he knows to be false, or whou he wishes , to convey to you the idea of the utter worthless- ' ness of a thing or person, he puffs out his cheek ' like a bagpiper's in full blow, smites it with his forefinger, and allows the pent breath to ex- . plodc, with the exclamation, "Bomba-a." I have witnessed the gesture and heard the sound. llenoo, after 1849, when regal oaths in the name " ' of tho Most Holy Trinity were found to bo as worthless as a beggar's in the name of Baochus and tho Madonna, when Ferdinand was perceived to bo a worthless liar, his quick-witted . people whispered this name. He was called ' King Bomba, King Puflchcek, King Liar, King : Knave. The name and his character were then . so much in harmony that it spread widely, and , . have been so much in harmony ever since, that ' he has retained it until rfow, and will retain It, " I suppose, till he is bundled into his unhonored-grave. Notes and Queries. Joachimo Biffi, an Italian refugee, died recently in England, aged 87. At the commence- . ' ment of tho Italian struggle, in 1848, he joined 1 n corps of volunteers in Lombardy. When Austrian supremacy was restored, Biffi pro-, . ceeded to Venice, and took part in the bcroio efforts of the Venitians. When, betrayed, and abandoned, the Republicans exiled themselves, Biffi fled to England. Subsequently be took-refuge In Jersoy.

The London Quarterly Review for January has the conclusion of the delightful paper on tho "Life and Writings of Johnson," tho first part of which appeared in the preceding number. There is no epoch so rich in intorest to the lover of literary biography as that of Johnson, of Goldsmith, of Foote, of Fielding, and of Richardson; and the London Quarterly (which, after all, we think we like best of the four great reviows,) has always something to tell usof that period, and of those men. The present article is one of tho most attractive of its kind; and as the never-wearisome story of Johnson's strug gles and triumphs is told again, you regard him with tenderness, if not affection. ' Tho reviewer opens with some reflections on tho fortunes of authorship, which we cannot refrain from copying. They are as true as they are sad : "Mr. Thackeray has remarked that the ad vantages of the literary calling are not sufficiently remembered by those who complain of its hardships. The physioian must have house and furniture, carriage and men-servants, be fore patients will contido in him, for nobody is willing to trust in his skill till be puis on an appearance which indicates that he is trusted by others. The barrister must bo at tho cost of chambers and clork, and the expense of going the circuit. The artist musthave his studio and a constant supply of canvas and paint. The author, on tho oilier hand, requires scarce anv capital with which to exercise his craft. In large towns puhlio libraries supply him with books, and a few sheets of paper, a pen and a utiiu 11JK are an wmcu are required to write them. Ho can live in a cheap lodging, and needs nono of tho costly appendages of tho doctor, lawyer and painter. Such is Mr. Thackeray's summary of the case, and it is plain enough that every calling hag its drawbacks and compensations ; but, when all has been said, iv win nun remain a irutii mat cue worst profession in tho world, for those who rely upon it exclusively, is that of an author With tho execu tion of a very few popular writers and editors of journals, noporsons expend so largo an amountof talent anu ton tor so small a return as the better class of literary men. Gifted persons, whose pons are hardly ever out of their hands, can with difficulty earn three or four hundred a year. Great ns is the demand for books in the aggregate, the books of an individual have not often a sufficient sale to furnish much Drofit. If he chances to make a lucky hit, he can rarely repeat it. These who make their way in the ordinary professions, have a steady call for their services; the gains ot the author, which are dependent upon a taste as variable as the weather, are always precarious. Though the publio did not require incessant varietv and were wining 10 go on listening to the voice of tne cnarmer, 110 can seldom continue to charm as wisely as at first. Goldsmith urged the in troduction of new members into the I.iterarv Club because the original associate 'had travel led over each other's minds. This is as true of books as of conversation. Few tram are pos- BCHsuu 01 an inexiiausuuie stocK ot ideas, and while in the ordinary callings increased expe rience gives increased skill, the author often finds in the very prime of his life that his occupation is gone, and that Utile besides 'mouth- honor is lell him. lint the chief evil, perhaps, of his employment, when his bread depends upon it, is in ine nniure 01 tne cxerlion it Imposes. The craft of an artist is in a largo de grce mechanical, and to paint is usually as much a pleasure as a labor. The duties of a physician soon become a routine in which the intellect is rarely put to a strain. The barrister has his materials found to his hands, has the comparatively easy task of addressing the understanding instead of captivating the taste, and has the immense advantage of speaking to an audience far from fastidious and which is compelled to listen to him. 4 Literary produc tions, wnon tney have any particular excel lence, generally flow with much less facility. Rapidly as Johnson seemed to write, he yet tes tifies that composition 13 usually an effort of slow diligence, to which tho author is dragged by noccssity, and from which the attention is every moment starting to pleasanter pursuits. No occupation is so tiring, nono requires such concentration of the powers and such a freedom from everything which candistract the thoughts ; none, thoreforo, is so harrassing under the least derangement of health or circumstances. 'A man,' says Johnson, 'doubtful of his dinner or trembling at a creditor s not much disposed to aosiractcu meuitation or remote inquiries:' nor can any pursuit be so trying when poverty com puis iuo ton 10 oe unremitting; when Day after day the labor must 1 done, And sure as cornea the postman and the sun The indefatigable ink must run.' Half the works which delight the world may al most do saiu 10 nave been written with the blood of their authors. 'Ye,' exclaims Johnson, 'who listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy, and pursue with eaecrncss the phantoms of hope, attend to the history of Rasselas, Prince of ai,u;; win. - 1. ' 1.1 aujoaiiiiu. ,, ,u uiutll I1IUIU 1UUSUU llllgllt those who think of adopting literature as a profession, seduced by dazzling dreams of affluence and lame, attend to the history of Samuel John son. Whoever weighs the sutTonnes against the success will have little reason to envy his lot; and though he presents as grand a spectacle of a bravo man struggling with distress as the world ever saw, the grandeur is felt by those who contemplate his career, anil little besides the distress was felt by himself. Tho other articles in the review are on The Works of William Shakespeare, Consular Ser vice, Pius VIII and Gregory XVI, Patents, Lodging, Food and Dress of Soldiers, Bread and Reform. Published by Leonard, Scutt & Co., 54 Cold street, N. Y. From Perley, the Washington letter writter of tfie Boston Journal we learn thai Dr. Bailey, of the National Era is going to Europe for tho benefit of his health, and will proably be the guest of Mr. Cobden while in England; that Lord Napier has advertised his horses for salo, being says the gossips, uncomfortable in Wash ington; says Mr. Key was killed; that tht friends of the murdorod man will try to prove that his relation with Mrs. Sickles wasplatonic; that the friends of the homioido protest against the efforts of some newspapers to canonize him; and that a certain foolish preacher, Mr. Haley, has made himself very obnoxious by reporting what ho says and what Mr. Sickles says when the "revere nd gent" goes to see him in prison. The 'Teople'i JV," a paper printed iu Oregon, comes to us. In tho number for January 18, we find the following weather item: "The weather is warm; lurks are singing, wo men are visiting, loafers sunning themselves on the cornors, grass is growing: we can hardly help believing that it is spring, Instead of the middle of January. The thermometer during the past week has ranged from 85 to 04 degrees." Ma ANn Wolf Killed. Wolves are still fierce and ravenous in some of the wilds of Michigan. It is stated that recently in Sail nac county, a wolf sprung upon a man who was chopping near his own dwelling, soiling his victim by the throat. His wife ran to his rescue, and killed the wolf with an axe, but the man toon bled to death. - " 1 STATE ITEMS. Great Shot. The Couneaut Reporter tells a story of a man who killed twenty erow$ at a single shot, the other day. A large cloud of crows had passed over his house one evening and settled down in some neighboring woods. As soon as it was dark, he followed with a common fowling piece, and when sufficiently near, blazed away at a cluster of crows in the top of a tall tree. The next morning eighteen dead and two disabled crows wore found on the ground making a total de struction of twenty crow at a tingle ihot I Death of an Insane Woman. An insane woman, Mrs. Kinney, of Kins man, jumped through the window of her room in tho County Infirmary, carrying sash and glass with her, breaking her leg and ankle, and so badly tearing the flesh that mortification set in and sho died. Trumbull Chronicle. The Difference. . The Columbus correspondent of the Warren Chronicle says of the Investigating committee: The committee seem to have had two classes to deal with, one they seem to extenuate before exposure, and pity afterwards, mush as some mothers in giving a disagreeable medicine to a child, they first give a lump of sugar to prepare his mouth, and give him another, after be has swallowed the pill, to take the "taste out of his mouth." Tho others are chased and choaked until they open their mouths, and the bitter doso crammed down their throats, then soundly spanked for getting sick, they are suffered to run again. Hut good enough for them; they should have had better luck. Another Pioneer Gone. Mr. William Kennedy, of Howland, ono . of the pioneer settlers of this county, died on the 1st inst., in the ninety tecond year 01 his ago. Mr. Kennedy came into this Slate from Penn sylvania, in the year 1 SO.", and settled in Trumbull county. Warren Chronicle. The Crop. From what we can learn, the coming wheat crop of our county will be good. Some, on low grounds has been lrozcn and scalded out, Din in general the prospect is excellent. Fruit also promises to be good. Uuerntey limei. The New Wheat Crop. We have lately made inquiry of many of our friends in the country, concerning the coming wheat crop, and with but few exceptions, they agree in saying Unit within the last lew days the prospect has materially improved, owing doubtless to the gentle rains and pleasant weather that we have thus far had in the month of March. The winter was not as favorablo for tho protection of the tender plant as it usually is, yet it is to be hoped that the mild and grow ing weather which we aro now enjoying will make up for the lack of a steady laying snow during tho winter, and amply reward our farm er friends with an excellent crop of wheat. Nr. Charles ueemeiin. Tho editor of the Summit Beacon, speaking of the Treasury Fraud Report, in a recent letter from Columbus, says: Mr. Reemlin is admirably fitted for such an investigation. He has cultivated upieion a a cardinal political virtue. "Always suspect everybody," is his maxim. Though the result is ft mental deformity in his own character a be lief on the whole, that Charles Reemlin is an honest man, and that thore is no other, tempered perhaps, with occasional doubts, even on that first point still it renders bun keen scented and sharp as a terrier in such a pursuit as tlint in which the commission was engaged. Air. Reemlin co-operates to a moderato extent with the Republican party, but never did profess to be a Republican. On tho contrary he has al ways disclaimed membership in that parly. Fatal Accident. The Herald says that a man named Arnold, residing near aslnngton, ! ayette county, was killed on Saturday, by being thrown from a buggy. He was a man of intemperate habits. An Ohio Artist. We find the following paragraph in a letter to the Boston Transcript, on "Art Matters at Washington:" Miss C. L. Ransom, of Sandusky, Ohio, who has been sojourning here for a few weeks, is at work upon a portrait of Air. Uiddings, which bids fair to be a strong and characteristic likeness and an admirable work of art. Miss Ran som's portraits are remarkable for a degree of strength and vigor not often seen in the productions of female artists. She is a young lady of great cultivation, and is devoted to her pro fession, which she pursues with a degree of in telligence and enthusiasm that must one day give her an enviable position in the domain of art. The author of the letter is a Boston gen tleman of fine artistic taste, to which he does credit by his praise of Miss Ransom. We speak from acquaintance with the lady's works. She is not only successful with portraits, but her landscape, paintings evince great genius and power of expression. Passing her early years in Ashtabula county, near the shores of old Erie, she studied in the well known school of Thomas Hicks, at New York, and since her return from that city, has resided for the most part at Sandusky, where sho has spent her time in painting portraits, and sketching the glari- ous lake scenery. - Ohio is becoming famous for her artists, and we aro glad to see this tribute from Boston "cul-tiero" to Western genius. Italian Revolutionists in Paris. The Taris correspondent of tne Philadelphia North American days : : ' 1 . Vast numbers of Italian refugees are passing through Paris, from Loudon and elsewhere, on their road to Genoa, whore, it is said, thoy will be formed into "several regiments" for tho cam paign which bardinia still appears to have in prospect for tho coming spring. A large bodv of these exiles , bearing a prodigious tri-color bo- quci ot the Sardinian colors, paraded one day last week at the Palais Royal, to request an interview, and present their offering to tho Princess Clotilde and her husband, Tho Prince was absent, but, on being applied to. consented (doubtless with the assent of a higher authority,) to receive a deputation on Sunday lust.

It is certainly a strange sight to witness, to seo the "dearly beloved cousin" of Louis Napoleon welcoming witli kind and encouraging words the leaders of the revolutionary party of iiaiy. Diranger still lo think that these men are welcomed and encouraged here, in its capital, by the very government which sent an armv to Rome to put them down, and keeps it there to provent tneir returnl Such policy can scarcely be called consistent; but the semi-official organs tow assert openly, and with impunity, that the present Italian policy of France has been, in part, at least, adopted, in order to protect the Emperor, and consolidate the Napoleon dynasty. The "personal" motive, in short, for the course recently adopted toward Austria is no longer professed to be made a Bocret of. : To disarm the heads of the Italian carbonari, and preserve the life of Louis Napoleon, is openly avowed to be one; at ' least, of the motives for throwing r.urope into convulsions The Washington Union begins an artiole on the "Expired Congress," in tho following composite mannor: "The outrage upon the constitution which the expired Congress has inflicted in refusing to pro vide for ono arm of the federal sorvice the coincidence of this first sot of revolution with the three-score-and-tenth anniversary of the estab lishment of the government the signal manner in which the same Providence, whose sustaining hand has from the first been so manifest in the history of our country, has marked this event by the sudden demise of tho two chief officers of tho department suffering the revolutionary blow from Congress; these notablo circumstances and coincidcnceshave made a deep Impression upon the mind of the Christian people of our country." It is hard to tell which is greatest, the editor's anger, piety or grief. Answering Letter. Mr. Jonos had been kept awako nil night by an aching molar, it was one of those esses which would yield to ordinary remedies. Ho choked himself, and skinned all the inside of his mouth with liberal applications of kreosoto, oil of cloves, and other fiery remedies, but all in vain. He rose in the morning, his heart bounding with vulorous determination. Ho would seek a dentist, and bid him do his worst. As ho thrust his feet into his boots, his tooth began to get better, and when he reached the dentists house, it was quite well, so liko a sensible man, he retraced bis steps, pronounc ing tho proverb which says "delays are danger ous, an unmitigated humbug. However the tooth began to acho again and to ache horribly. It came on spasmodicnly, by jumps, each jump worse than tho preceding. Jones thought his head would jump off, and he rather liked the idea of getting rid of the torment in that way. At all events it was a clear case that the tooth must come out so bo sought the dentist again, and this time he was not to bo fooled by the temporary cessation of pain. He rang tho boll, and was shown into the "slaughter house." The surroundings were sufficiently appalling to frighten both Jones and the tooth-uche to death. But his mind was mado up, and he placed himself in the "easy" chair. In about fivo seconds, during which every bone in his body was dislocated, or broken, or both, the tooth was out, and the trouble all over. There aro many persons in tho world who think tooth-drawing an agreeable amusement, in comparison with letter-writing. The idea of deliberately sitting down to write a letter is to them intolerable. They are so indolent about other matters, nud are sometimes able to get up an amazing quantity of steam, when it is not at all needed. They have no difficulty in express ing their ideas in conversation, nud there can be no complaints urged against their caligraphy. It is very hard for them to give any reason for their hatred of letter-writing except the female reason "because;" but we all know individuals who are tho victims of this unconquerable aversion.a great oeai 01 tne repugnance would un doubtedly wear off, if the sufferer would take regular doses of the remedy. And the only reliable remedy is a practice of the abhorred duty. In this aire of the world, and in this day of cheap postage, it is absolutely necessary that everybody should write like Charles Lamb or Horace Walpole. We incline to the opinion that the clner oeauty in letter-writing is to approxi mate as closely as possible to oral communica tions. A man of tolerable- education, who writen just as he talks, writes agrcebly, and is always understood. The receipt of an epistle, concocted after the model furnished by the "Lompleto Letter-writer," is a nuisance It re- minus us 01 wnai we suppose must be tho emotions of an old toper, who loves whisky for its own sake, when lie is ottered a "hxed-up drink The particular class of letters, most objectionable on account of their unnatural character is that comprised under tho head of "lovo let ters. Asa general rule, lovers talk a great deal or nonsense, when they have an opportunity ior interlocution out the nonsense is highly intensified when committed to paper. A stright- torward, manly love latter would be a greater curiosity. But it is in reference to the duty of replying to letters mat we wished principally to speak; and 1110 story ot Air. Jones was introduced as an illustration ot the condition of the letter hater who has received an epistle which requires an answer. He will postpone the irksome task as long as possible, and nourishes a vagtio hope that tho necessity for a response will pass away somehow. He endures a pain akin to the arrow 1 ing of oil angry tooth, while the letter remains unanswered; and if he at last plucks up enough enorgy and courage to discharge the duty, ho is amazed to fiud how little the operation hurt him. After all, it is the horrible furniture in the dentist's office, that makes tooth drawinc so dreadful. The huge chair, with a place to fit tlie occiput; the capacious spittoon on high leg?, and the little table, glittering with the sugees- live arrayof cold-blooded, pearl-handled instru ments. 11 tne operator would only come in just when the pain begins, and pluck out tho tooth, it would not be so terrible a tiling to en- dure. And so with answering a letter. If a man could tear off the blank leaf and scrawl a few words in reply on tho instant, tho receipt of the mission would not bo thought so great a calamity. A prompt answer to a correspondent is just as much a duty as a reply to a spoken question. It is nnt polite to keep a friend in suspense, and cause him to growl at the irregularity of the mails. To leave a letter unanswered, is to treat tho writer with great contempt, and everybody feels obliged to oiler some excuse, oven for a lit-tlo delay in replying. The eagerness with whioh everybody opens his letters is proof enough that they are generally acceptable, and a little observation on the part of our readers will satisfy them that there is no minor duty so habitually disregarded or procrastinated as that of reply ing promptly to written communications. Baltimore American. A rumor in London, on the evening of the 22d ultimo, reported the death of the Duke of Buckingham, or, as he is called by the London prints, "Richard Plantaganet Temple Nugent Brydges Chandos Granville, second Duke of Buckingham." He was tho owner once of the celebrated estate of Stowff, which a few years since was brought to the hammer by his prodigalities. Since the loss of his fort uno, the Duke oocupicd his time in illustrating the history of the hrst thirty years 01 tne present century by the publication of family papers. His "Me moirs of the Court and Cabinets of George III," consisting in the main of letters written by the two brothers, Lord urenvillo and sir. T. Gren ville, to their elder brother, the Marquis of Buckingham, contain the observations qf ono of the most BagaciouB politicians or the day upon the political events which attended the struggle with Napoleon, and within the last few days tho series was continued 111 "Memoirs of tho Court of George IV," the last publication of the author. The mother of this peer was the sole rep- . . e t r. t. . r reseniauvu 01 mary, yucen 1'ownger or f ranco, sister of Henry VIII, whose issue under certain contingencies were named in that Monarch's will as successors to the erown of England. A Goon Idea. The English druggists are about adopting a hexangular bottle, with dnnn flutings, to put poisons in which are Sold by retail. This Is to poevent persons making mis takes ty getting tiom or the wrong bottle. As an additional security, the neck of the bottle is so contracted that but a drop at a time can be poured out. The very deliberate and cautious action thus produced Will, it is bclioved, deter any one from taking overdoses of medioino; while it is difficult to imagino a case in which a person could pour out and take tho whole contents of one of those bottles in mistake for something else. ' Easily Satisfied. The Milwaukee Sentinel says of the reading of Saxe s poem on "Lov," in that city: "It would not be saying too much to assert that the reading last night gave better satisfaction than anything yet offered in the course." It is impossible to tell what else has been "offered in the course," of Milwaukee lectures, but we venture the remark that it must have been dreadful trash, if Mr. Saxo's dull rhymes gave 'better satisfaction." Indication and Treatment. A. M. Feullit was traveling in a steamboat at a time when an explosion took place. M. F. was transfixed by an iron spit seven feet long. The spit went in at tho abdomen and passed out at the back, so that there were three feet of the spit in front and three feet of the spit behind. M. F. was conveyed to the nearest hotel. His position demanded all the resources of art. A surgeon was accordingly sent for, who on arriving felt the patient's pulso, and asked him where he was suffering. "In the abdomen," replied the wounded man. "Indeed I How did it happen to you?" The patient thereupon detailed the sad incident of his being transfixed. The surgeon shook his head, and resumed: "Are they subject to this accident, sir, in your funiily?" "No, re- ' plied the patient, "not-that I know. My father and mother are very old, and have never been spitted. So with regard to my brothers and sisters, and my uncles and aunts." "Vory well, sir. I required that information in order to give a correct prognosis, i ou experience, I suppose, considerable difficulty in lying on your back?" . -lea, air; 11 is inucea impossible.' "it, is not any easier for you to lio on your stomach?" "I experience precisely tho same difficulty." "It must, thoreforo, bo much easier for you to lie on your sido?" "That's the only position I can lie in." "That will suflice, sir. It only remains to determine upon the treatment. Here the indications aro very precise, cither wo can leave the spit, but then you will most likely dio of inflammation; or we can extract it, but then it is not probablo that you will survive tho operation. Science, sir, has its limits; your fato is in your own bands; you must decide for either one treat ment or the other." Washington's Birthday In Paris. On Tuesday evening tho residout American i. citizens of Paris celebrated with great telat the ono hundred and twenty-sixth anniversary of the birth ot Washington. The fete came off, as on former occasions, iu the noble saloon of the Hotel de Louvre, and was shared in by a large number of American residents, as well as a host of foreigners and officials of all countries. A ball at tho Tuilerics, on the same evening, interfered, perhaps, with the presence of the immediate attendance upon the court, whom etiquette or even fatigue prevented in some degree from being at both entertainments. But there was a largo muster from the various foreign legations, to which invitations had been issued with a liberal hand. The noble ball room, richly decorated with portraits and busts of Washington, Lafayette, the Emperor and Empress of the French, and numerous French andAmerican- standards, looked imposingly beautiful, when filled with the throng of elegantly dressed ladies, interspersed with glittering uniforms and foreign decorations. Correspondence A'orth American. Literary Gossip. The Boston correspondent : ' of the New Y'ork Timet says: "Tho great event of this week has been the birthday of James Russel Lowell. A number of his friends gave him a dinner on that occasion at the Parker House, which came off on last Wednesdny withecaf. Agassiz sat at the head of the table, and Longfellow at the foot. Lowell himself sat ou the ichthyological Professor's ' right hand, and Emerson occupied the seat on ' the left. Au rette, the guests were Stillman, the author and artist; Doctor Holmes; Underwood, the author of "Bulls and Bears," now publishing in the Atlantic Monthly, Mr. Edmund Quin-cey, Professor Felton, Mr. Dwight of the Journal 0 Music, with others equally agreeable or dis- ( tinguished. Emerson read a strangely beautiful poem, suggested by the event celebrated. Dr. Holmes read another, and Mr. Lowell replied to these compliments in verse. Several charm-. ing birthday gifts were presented to the poet Professor by his friends, among others a picture by Stillman. Interesting Relics It is known to a por- ... tion of the public that Rev. Theodore Parker is the possessor of two pieces of firearms which were used on the battle field of Lexington, and which descended to their present owner from-his grandfather, Capt. John Parker, commander of the robels at that place. The history of these pieces, in briof, is as follows: . The smaller of the two, which it a mere fowl- ' ing picoe, was used by Rev. Mr. Parker's ancei- ' tor at the battle of Lexington. With it he . brought down a British soldier of the 3d Regiment; whose gun he secured, and, which gun a ponderous "King's arm" of eloven and a half " pounds weight, is now hung up in peaceful-companionship with the fowling piece which, in-in the hands of Capt. Parker, dispatched the "red coal." This "King's arm" was the first weapon taken from the British in the war. We are gratified to learn that Mr. Parker has ' indicated his intention to bequeath these valua- , ble relics of the Revolution to the Commonwealth, and they will be transferred to the State upon the decease of the donor. Since Mr. Parker's recent departure for the West Indies, he has-written back to a friend in Boston to have these guns removed from his residence to the State House, to be kept there during his absence, as a ' measure of security against fire. The request ' has been complied with, and the guns may be seen in the office of the Secretary of State. Boston Journal. . ; Uomba. The name Bomba is often misinterpreted as " having some allusion to bombardments. It is ' not so. In Italy, when you tell a man a thing , which he knows to be false, or whou he wishes , to convey to you the idea of the utter worthless- ' ness of a thing or person, he puffs out his cheek ' like a bagpiper's in full blow, smites it with his forefinger, and allows the pent breath to ex- . plodc, with the exclamation, "Bomba-a." I have witnessed the gesture and heard the sound. llenoo, after 1849, when regal oaths in the name " ' of tho Most Holy Trinity were found to bo as worthless as a beggar's in the name of Baochus and tho Madonna, when Ferdinand was perceived to bo a worthless liar, his quick-witted . people whispered this name. He was called ' King Bomba, King Puflchcek, King Liar, King : Knave. The name and his character were then . so much in harmony that it spread widely, and , . have been so much in harmony ever since, that ' he has retained it until rfow, and will retain It, " I suppose, till he is bundled into his unhonored-grave. Notes and Queries. Joachimo Biffi, an Italian refugee, died recently in England, aged 87. At the commence- . ' ment of tho Italian struggle, in 1848, he joined 1 n corps of volunteers in Lombardy.
